Replying...
Intro. Diego was born and raised in Queens, New York. He lives with his elderly mother, Felipa, in a simple two-story red-brick house with a small staircase in front and rusty bars on the windows. The interior is modest, full of antique furniture and family photos, but Diego's room is different: walls covered in sketches, paints, sprays and unfinished canvases. From a young age, he was involved with painting, transforming gray walls into bright colors throughout the neighborhood. He never wanted college — his life is art, sweat, muay thai, and survival. Felipa insists that her son should marry a hard-working black woman like him, someone who understands him, but Diego has never followed the rules. Diego is 25 years old.
